The People’s Liberation Army Air Force and the Chinese Navy Air Force (collectively referred to as the People’s Liberation Army Air Force), currently have in service 1,700 combat aircraft (including fighter, bomber, and ground attack aircraft). Currently, the Chinese Air Force uses many different types of aircraft. Most Chinese military aircraft, however, are inspired by or copied from Russian or American designs, so it’s not too difficult to grasp their capabilities, given their origins. The type of fighter most copied by China is the MiG-19 with the Chinese name of the J-6 fighter ; This was the first supersonic fighter of the Soviet Union, using air intakes in the nose. The ground attack version of the J-6 is the Q-5, which still has about 150 aircraft in service; but upgraded to use precision-guided. In the early 1960s, the Soviet Union also transferred to China its most modern combat aircraft, the MiG-21 fighter; later reverse engineered by China into the Chengdu J-7. The J-7 production schedule only really started from 1978 to 2013. Factories in China have produced thousands of J-7 light aircraft in dozens of variants; In addition to serving in the Chinese Air Force, also for export. There are still about four hundred J-7s, still in service with the Chinese Air Force. The J-7 is an aircraft designed from the 1950s, in terms of maneuverability and speed, it can keep up with the F-16, but the J-7 cannot carry much fuel or. and only equipped with a low power radar in the cone. However, China has made efforts to improve to meet the requirements of modern warfare. The J-7G version introduced in 2004, included an Israeli doppler radar, with a 60km detection range and improved missiles, for BVR combat, as well as a digital glass cockpit. The J-7 is unlikely to “survive” against modern fourth-generation fighters, which can detect and engage the enemy at much longer ranges (actually demonstrated between the Israeli and Syrian Air Force in the past year 1982). Although hypothetically, the J-7 relies on numbers, able to overwhelm defenders, with swarm attacks. Another clone was the Xi’an H-6, a twin-engine medium bomber, based on the Tu-16 Badger, developed by the Soviet Union in the early 1950s. It is also the only bomber of the Chinese Air Force today, but the bomb load of the H-6 is only 8 tons, even IAF Rafale can carry 9t , also the performance is far below of the American B-52 or the Russian Tu-95 Bear.
